The Castlevania Thread

Valmanway.

I liked Claimh Solais…

I nearly busted my thumb getting to level 99 via killing Final Guards with the Nunchaku.

I used Claimh Solais as well. Valmanway has the quick hits but it was too damn weak, not to mention it looks retarded. Little floating sword pops out and slashes while Soma’s hand isn’t even moving? Fuck that shit, give me the awesome looking, godlike slashes of ownage from SOTN Valmanway aka Crissaegrim.

Nothing beats the RPG. Yeah, it sucked, but dude. DUDE.

Yeah, that sounds… painful :rofl:

I used the soul that switches hp/mp totals (wtf was it called?) to kill them.

I think I used something else in conjunction w/ that, but I can’t remember wtf it was either. :smiley:

You’re thinking of Iron Golems. Final Guards have MP equal to their HP, which makes them bitches.

EDIT: Iron Golems are worth more EXP, but they take longer to kill on Normal Mode, so I just kept going through the room with the Final Guards. In Hard Mode, though, Imp + Terror Bear on Iron Golems is the way to go.

OH SHIT, you’re right. I remember now.

My bad :sweat:

Either way, I only bothered w/ Final Guards to get a soul from them.

I’m years behind on Castlevania. Has anything come out that’s on the level of SOTN?

Other than the PSP remake of Rondo, which includes SotN, no.

Dawn of Sorrow comes close…

The Katanas are awesome if you backdash cancel your attacks. Hell, everything is awesome if you backdash cancel.

Yeah, like Sex, High school, Candy, Street Fighter, and Posting on SRK.

For the Record: I have Rondo of Blood running on my Nintendo DS right now. I feel so cool.

Which game are you talking about?

BTW what’s a quick way to reach Lvl. 99 in Harmony of D. for the GBA?

The best thing to do with HoD is to not play it.

And I was talking about DoS for the nunchaku thing. For AoS, there’s a much easier method with the Black Knight armor thing and the Positron Rifle.

…but HoD is like…my 3rd fav. Castelvania game :frowning:

Have you only played Two castlevania games?

^No I tried most of them but only got far in 3:
HoD for the GBA (beat it)
PoR for the NDS (beat it) and
CoD for the PS2

I see. Well HoD was tolerable, but there’s so many more great Castlevania games.

hod wasnt THAT bad for a 3d castlevania…
nothing beats enemies jiggin while getting hit by bone storm
